v i've been to philly but that's it. from houston but lived in nyc for so long... 100% philly??? really i definitely don't have a philly accent. if anything i think i speak new yorker with a texan accent.
no sorry. it told me i was 100% philly which is absurd. was just calling bull**** on the poll itself, not you.
I'm a well traveled Texan, and if a region of the state must be leaned towards as far as accent goes, it would probably be East Texas. That's where a lot of my people are from. I do lose quite a bit of my accent if I stay in Europe for several months, and really notice the accents my friends have when I return. Eventually, I end up talking like I always have.
midland 90% 1 25 -30 2 M 3 Different 4 Different 5 Different 6 Different 7 Dawn 8 All 3 sound the same 9 It's just like in the word "w****." 10 Same 11 Same 12 Yes 13 No
I was born in Houston, but raised overseas in Asia and Europe. Result: The West 96% "Your accent is the lowest common denominator of American speech. Unless you're a SoCal surfer, no one thinks you have an accent. And really, you may not even be from the West at all, you could easily be from Florida or one of those big Southern cities like Dallas or Atlanta." The Midland 95% Boston 75% North Central 73% The Inland North 33%
95% Midland. To my surprise, they don't mean Midland, TX. I'm suspicious of the quiz though because they don't have categories for East Texas, South Texas and West Texas. What, do they think we sound Southern? Or Western? Please.
I wonder what's the indicators for Boston accent? Also there's a region that says the A in "bag" like "vague?"
i had a teacher from somewhere like north dakota or something i cant remember. she pronounced dagger like day-ger.. the entire class was like wtf...
Thats funny, to me Mary and merry sound EXACTLY the same whereas marry has the same 'a' sound as "apple" This was a pretty cool test.
